All quiet on the homefront after pro-Israel editor suggests assassinating the President

In spite of laws promoting freedom of speech, usually anybody who even casually writes in a private E-mail that they think that the U.S President should be assassinated would be gagged, detained and shipped off to Guantanamo Bay for "interrogation". But not Andrew Adler, the pro-Israeli editor and columnist for the Atlanta Jewish Times. His weekly column stated directly that the assassination of the U.S. president is a viable option for Netanyahu in case Obama doesn't do what's in Israel's "best interest". The most Adler will see of Guantanamo Bay is a picture of it.

"Although the case can be made against Adler for threatening the President or putting his life in jeopardy — a Class D felony — the most trouble he’s felt is a sense of regret that compelled him to issue a brief apology. That was that. No alerts from Homeland Security, no new security measures, no arrests."

"The mood really shifted when randomly he looked at me, paused, and said, 'Have I ever told you that you have the most beautiful eyes?' I politely said, 'Thank you,' hoping that that would be the end of it. Unfortunately, after a moment, he added, 'Sometimes I get lost in them when you’re speaking during meetings.' WHAT?!?!"

One can tell a lot about a person just by looking inside their bag. Fascinated by those magazine columns that cover purse contents, this fashion-savvy Lebanese blogger looks into her own purse. Could these contents really have a lot to say about one's personality?

"The attachment that we have to material objects that we feel the need to carry with us almost everywhere we go. Objects we sometimes feel contribute to our daily well-being and whose absence has the possibility to literally effect our mood and behavior."
